5 PERKS TO SMOKING CANNABIS PRE-ROLLS

If you’re new to cannabis, you’re probably wondering where to start and which products to try first. With so many options, the shopping experience can be pretty daunting and intimidating.

The good news is that there are plenty of ways to ease into using cannabis without getting too overwhelmed. Pre-rolled joints are one of those ways.

Cannabis pre-rolls come with a plethora of benefits, making it obvious why they are one of the top-selling sectors in each legal cannabis state.

What are the types of cannabis pre-rolls?

If you’re in the weed dispensary, you’re probably looking at indica, sativa, and hybrid pre-rolls. Indicas are supposed to be sleepy strains. Sativas are supposed to be energetic strains. Hybrids are supposed to be the happy medium.

Truthfully, these classifications are not guaranteed to help you make the best choice if you’re chasing specific effects. Instead, full cannabis flower product descriptions will help you choose the best strains of weed for what you’re looking for. 

Knowing the strain's terpene profiles and the ratio of THC to other cannabinoids like CBN and CBD will help you make an even more informed decision.

But for novice consumers, these levels of learning are often too much. So they just ask the basic questions about classifications. 

How to buy the best cannabis pre-rolls

Not all pre-rolls are created equal, and given the variety you might find, here are some quick tips to help guide your shopping.

Check the dispensary menu beforehand

First things first: if you’re stepping into a weed dispensary to buy pre-rolls, do a little research first to see what’s on the menu.

That way, when the budtender asks what you’re looking for and like to smoke, you’ll have some sort of idea of what might appeal to you. 

Full-flower pre-rolls vs trim pre-rolls

Second, know that full flower pre-rolls are the key to finding good rolled-already joints. Trim and other debris will be harsh and gross. Most cheap joints are made with trim and leaves.

Full-flower pre-rolls will have more complete strain profiles, higher potency, bolder flavors, and better experiences than trim rolls. Full-flower is usually called out on the packaging.

Never shop only by price 

Third, don’t buy pre-rolls simply by price. The cheapest products are often of the least quality. There may be hidden gems, but generally speaking, the lower the price, the lower the cost of production, the lower the quality of production. The same holds true for cannabis. 

Ask harvest date

Lastly, ask about the harvest date when you buy pre-rolls. You truly want something as fresh as possible so you can get the best possible strain experience.

The older the harvest date, the lower the quality of your product compared to its original potency and flavor when fresh. Sometimes products will still be good after time, but most of the time, quality will diminish with age. 

The benefits of consuming cannabis pre-rolls

Given all the other ways of consuming cannabis out there, you might be wondering what makes smoking pre-rolls special.

Here are five quick benefits to purchasing and smoking pre-rolls.

They’re convenient and disposable

Pre-rolls are super convenient because you buy them, open the tube, and they’re ready to light. Once you’re done with them, you simply dispose of the materials and continue with your day.

They make for a great option for anyone that’s looking for a quick smoke. 

Pre-rolls save time

Plus, especially for novice consumers, there’s a benefit in not having to roll the joint yourself. It takes a lot less time, which you might not always have if you’re squeezing smoking into busy days.

You should still learn to roll your own joints, so you can enjoy cannabis flower properly, but pre-rolls are a great option in the beginning.

Smell-proof in public 

Pre-rolls come in smell-proof tubes. It’s to help preserve them, and also makes them easy to carry around in public. Plus, they don’t take up a lot of room in your pocket.

If you’re stepping out for the night and don’t want to always carry around a swag bag of roll-up materials, grab yourself some pre-rolls and rock out for the evening.

Pre-rolls are cost-effective samples

By cost-effective, I do not mean buying cheap joints. I simply mean it is cheaper to buy a joint than an eighth of flower.

So with pre-rolls, they are a great choice for trying high-quality, premium-priced strains without having to commit to the full purchase yet.

Instead of spending the $60-$80 out the door, it’ll cost for you to grab an eighth without knowing if you want to commit yet to that strain, buying preroll joints and blunts let you do something of a sampling/taste test first.

After that, then you’ll know which bags and jars you truly want to grab. 

Learning different cannabis strains and brands

Continuing on the last point of trying strains for the cheap, if you want to really enjoy the many benefits of cannabis, you’ll have to learn different strains and terpene profiles.

When you’re truly ready to take this learning journey, walk into a dispensary, and buy yourself a variety of cannabis strains as pre-rolls. After consuming them, document their aromas, their flavors, and their effects. 

Through this journaling style, you’ll learn which strains of weed you like, and which characteristics about them matter most. From there, you’ll be able to shop for new strains by more than just asking if they’re indica or sativa.

You’ll also learn about cannabis brands. Pay attention to who grew your favorite strains, because chances are those brands will have other products that you will enjoy too.

With all these benefits combined, it’s easy to see why pre-rolls are such a huge category in each market across the nation.

When purchasing them, just remember that not all pre-rolls are the same, and quality differs widely across brands. Only purchase pre-rolls from reputable brands that provide top-tier products and consistent experiences.
